30.1 Crepe paper

30.1.1 General

30.1.1.1 Structure
Our insulating crepe papers are made from high-voltage cable Kraft papers. They consist of 100% pure
sulfate cellulose.

30.1.1.2 Application
Insulating crepe papers are used mainly as wide tapes or cut narrow rolls for insulate of the parts of the
high voltage electrical apparatus. The degree of creping matches to individual requirements enables a
manual or machine application and a close connection between layers.

30.1.1.3 Advantages
The fineness, elasticity and high strength of the used base paper results in a high dielectric strength of the
creped end products. It also guarantees a 100% oil-impregnation within a short time period. The controll of
the initial materials together with the inspection of the finished product enables insulating crepe papers to
be used in high-voltage transformers at areas with high field stress, as well as in converters, cables and
other equipment where stresses are high. The finely-corrugated creping enables a high degree of filling of
active materials and thus higher electrical load capacity of the insulated equipment.

30.1.1.4 Quality
2
Our insulating crepe paper is available in a variety of types. Base papers of 36 - 100 g/m are processed
to produce crepe papers with 50 - 200% elongation.
